Is it possible that Suite butchered the USB port?

Whenever I connect the USB cable the touchscreen stops working, it doesn't respond anymore.

Or if it does only to a fraction of inputs seconds later at the wrong place.

The PC still recognizes the Vita but I can't do much after I connect the USB cable.

Can't start the content manager or Suite Dev App, let alone navigate the menu properly.

I've found a video which showcases the issue, not mine btw:

It doesn't matter if I connect it to PC or PS3 the touchscreen won't take input any more.

It even shows this behaviour when I let it charge!?

As in the video once I unplug the cable the touchscreen works fine again as if nothing ever happened?!

If I start the suite dev app beforehand I can deploy my apps but they are sluggish as hell, if I unplug the cable it's fine.

Apart from Suite I haven't used my Vita much since launch so there must be some correlation.

I already formatted everything I could multiple times, rebuilt the database and even re-installed the firmware via the recovery menu but to no avail

Hi Wisepresident,

Thanks for this report. Unfortunately this looks like a problem which isn't directly related to the PSS tools, however I will have to confirm if there is a better place for this bug to be reported...

Please bear with me whilst I confirm this.

Thanks again,
James

Your post is fine it. It will be reported from here.

Thanks.

// Somewhat off topic...

OK, who at Sony thought making the USB cable on the Vita capable of being plugged in upside down?  Seriously?  For real?

Mmm, although somewhat off-topic I aggree.

I have struggled some time with this same problem of having it upside down (without noticing it) and wondering why my apps did not install....

Seems to be a very basic design requirement that this should not be possible at all

Maybe the quality assurance department was on vacation so they had someone temporary to fill in the job and overlook that part lol.

I have the exact same problem when connecting my Vita to my laptop. It was fine at first but after a couple of hours it would stop responding. It seems fine when connected to my desktop PC however.
